i would like some input from those who have repaired loose rear wheels due to spline wear im trying to make a decision.
my left rear large nut is metal on metal and the wheel is still loose it is a b model 1951 where the wheel is the hub. i can buy a new axle but i havent been able to locate a new wheel and used wheel will have wear since it is softer than axle.
fix number two: remove wheel and put jb weld in the cut splines on both the axle and wheel/hub splines ,put wheel on, let set, and tighten large nut. if you have done this fix let me know if it lasted, seems easy if it holds.
fix number three: put shims in lower cuts of splines, do you put shims in lower cuts of splines on both axle and wheel/hub, how do you hold them while you slide wheel on? crazy glue? this fix seems like it would work , big question how thick would shims be?i dont have micrometers. i know its a lot but i know the experience is out there thanks for the help, e mail me info if you like. bob
